Exercising the Oxen

One of my favorite things is to watch a pair of oxen as the trudge along, swaying from side to side.  They make it look like they are in charge, but the teamster needs to remain in control.  This painting entitled "Exercising the Oxen" is 11" x 14".

Going to Church

Once in awhile I enjoy doing a painting using a limited pallet.  Today I decided to use a combination of dapple grey, black and white.  Adding colorful objects such as people to the otherwise quiet background makes them pop.  I hope you like the end result.  "Going to Church" is 8" x 10".

Harvest Time

Roadside stands selling fresh fruits and vegetables are everywhere in the Annapolis Valley at this time of year.  Harvest is in full swing, and everyone is enjoying the fresh produce.  "Harvest Time" is 11" x 14".  Hope to see you at the Farmer's and Trader's Market in Annapolis Royal tomorrow.  It opens at 8 am.

U-Pick Blueberries

If you have done any traveling in the valley over the last few weeks, you would certainly have encountered many of these.  "U-Pick Blueberries" is 9" x 12".  Hope you are enjoying all the fresh fruit and vegetables Nova Scotia has to offer.  On another note, I have just updated my website - www.mnewmanfolkart.com -browse through and enjoy.

Watching the Oxen

It will soon be time for the local exhibition, and I will have ample opportunity to enjoy multiple teams of oxen.  That's summer for me.  "Watching the Oxen" depicts me as a child.  It is 9" x 12".
